Travel soccer is for the player and family looking for a competitive environment and advanced age-specific curriculum taught by USSF/NSCAA licensed coaches, who are selected and managed by ASA Executive Director, Tommy Park, and ASA Director of Coaching, Ryan Rich. ASA's Player Development Program ("PDP") provides a transitional and challenging environment with the same qualified coaches for players who seek to gain more comfort and confidence within the game or on the ball to prepare for the "Travel" experience or further enjoy their "Recreational" experience.

U9 for both boys and girls programs.

Limited roster spots are available for U8 players.

Can my child play other sports and activities?

Absolutely! We encourage players to enjoy other sports and become a
well-rounded person and competitors. Coaches expect players to meet their
minimum participation expectations. U9 and U10 players may play
both Rec and Travel soccer.

Is my child "good" enough for travel?

If your kid loves soccer and has a desire to learn more, come to tryouts! Allow the professional coaches to provide their recommendation as to
what game day environment is appropriate for your child.

Can my kid get “cut”?

Travel soccer allows for 3-5 teams of 12 kids per team, so 36-60 kids
can be placed in travel programs.All others players will be offered the
PDP training option. No one is “cut” from ASA programming.
